Carrier bags - how to post?

snow

Sorry everybody if it seems obvious to you, but I wanted to sell some high street shops carrier bags (saw them sold on ebay for quite decent prices) but was wondering how one can post them? Judging from the postage prices other sellers charge it should be Royal Mail... But how you can wrap them? They are quite big (about 20in by 15in), how to ensure that they are not creased?

Woolworths carriers by any chance?

Best thing to do would be to put them in the biggest padded envelope that you can find, or maybe sandwich them between two pieces of stiff card (sides of cardboard boxes would do) and wrap them in brown paper.

I think I'm gonna knock the sign down when its dark tonight and list it.

No , they are Karen Millen bags... Don't think they will fit in any padded envelopes..

you could try putting bubble wrap inside and outside then carefully fold it and bubble wrap it again, the extra layers of insulation should keep the creasing down to a minimum and will not cost too much in terms of materials and postage

I'd sandwich them between corrugated card (free from supermarkets - the wine and booze boxes tend to be the strongest) then wrap in brown paper.

Why would people buy a Karen Millen carrier bag?!!

No idea actually I was going to throw them away, but I have a lot of them and spotted that other people buy them..So where there's demand, there's supply;)

Does anyone remember the recent thread about the woman who sold a Radley carrier bag and then received lots of trouble from the seller? The OP might want to watch out for, or even block, that particular bidder! What was her user ID, something like Helenamay? Does anyone remember?

Oh, just read your epic about that buyer, that's awfull, so much stress for £0.99! It reminds me when I got my first neg over a 0.99 item... though I really tried my best, answering a whole lot of emails during the auction and after it. and the buyer was not happy that I posted it on the third day after the auction... Well, that's another story..
Blocked your bidder anyway! Her comments were just outrageous
